STRATFORD TRIP At six o ' clock Saturday morning September 26th., 1964, thirty-five sleepy students with Mrs. Blyth, Mrs. Aldous and Mrs. Fraser boarded a bus and set off to Stratford, For seven hours we amused ourselves by singing, reading, laughing, joking and catching up on our lost sleep. On the way up we made a stop at a way- side restaurant where everyone filled up on toast and coffee. By one o ' clock, we had finally reached our destination. After a picnic lunch in the park, we entered the theatre and took our seats. The first play, Richard 11 was marvellous. William Hutt, who portrayed King Richard performed, splendidly. Afterwards, we walked back to the Windsor Hotel and were assigned to our rooms. Utterly famished, we collected in the dining room and ate a delicious meal of chicken. That night, we travelled by bus to the theatre and saw The Country Wife . This was very comical, and we all enjoyed ourselves immensely. Dead tired, we scrambled into our separate rooms into our beds, and were soon fast asleep. Next morning after breakfast, the majority of us went to St. James Anglican Church. After the service we were back on the road. , On our return to Ottawa, we stopped at the Binnie ' s farm. Here we had a huge buffet lunch, while we enjoyed the company of the household pets and the farm animals. Then we were on our way once more, leaving Stratford and the farm, and all the fun of that weekend far behind. We were now looking ahead to the time when we would arrive back home, safe and sound, and full of exciting news to tell about our wonderful trip to Stratford.

PHILOSOPHY CLUB Philosophy means a love of wisdom or knowledge . All of us at Elm wood are philosopers, that is lovers of knowledge - although often the type of knowledge varies greatly. But this year, there has been found hiding in our ranks a devoted group who seem to like to hear about philosophy a little more than the rest of us. For many a Friday night they have rushed through rain, snow and home- work to listen to such eminent speakers as our own Canon Bruce, Sister Rosemary- Ann, Reverend Mr. Micheal Peers, Reverend Mr. O ' Driscoll, Padre Barnet and his film on Hong Kong, and Reverend Mr. P. Megs. All of these speakers have, 1 know greatly influenced their audience, for spirited dis- cussion on such topics as Predestination and the union of the denominations, the Christians role in education and the true meaning and value of the Crucifiction always resulted during the course of an evening. Therefore a special thanks must be given to all our guests for providing not merely interesting evenings but profitable and memorable evenings also. Too, we are all very grateful to Mrs, Blyth for her gracious hospitality in allowing us her home and fire for our discussions. The philosophy club has become this year a vital part of our education and recreation. On behalf of all Elmwoodian philosophers I would like to thank all those who allowed us the privilege of this experience, and made it what it was. Susan Burgess 5A THE UNITED NATIONS October 24th. nineteen years ago the United Nations was created in the midst of World War II from man ' s desire for peace and security. It arose out of the ruins of the fated League of Nations to become our hope for the future. The United Nations has three main purposes. They are to maintain world peace, to reaffirm the faith in human rights and to raise the living standards of all men. In answer to the many cries for help from numerous people and countries the United Nations has given their support in various ways. Some of these are the freedom from Hunger campaign, Unicef and the Canada Mysore project. People everywhere are dying of starvation or are impoverished due to their lack of knowledge concerning agriculture. The United Nations provides not only food to these people but modern farm machinery and qualified technologists to advise and help farmers. While we have enjoyed a happy childhood most children in the world have not; many of them suffer from disease and malnutrition. Through Unicef these children have the chance to become stronger and healthier; they also may receive a better education. Their home life is improved as well as their diets and medical attention. The Canada Mysore project is the work of many people who have established a training centre at Mysore, India. Here men and women from the east receive instruction in the handling of food so that they may become tecnologists. The United Nations has three main issues, disarmament, decolonization and development. Today we live in an atomic age, an age of new inventions and high living standards, but also an age under the threat of an atomic war. We can only be sure that this tragedy will never occur by renouncing our weapons and putting our atomic energy to better use. Through the United Nations colonies everywhere are taking their step forward into the sunshine of freedom. The .apron strings of the old countries are being slowly untied but the help and assurance from these mother countires will never be forgotten. Countries cannot only live on their freedom or their beliefs but must make their mark on the financial charts of the world. The United Nations gives economic and social assistance to the welfare of these countries. The United Nations help to develop fully the resources of any country which asks for aid. The education and training of the young people of today will produce the leaders of tomorrow. The United Nations has been working for the last nineteen years and will continue to do so for as long as it is needed. It will always stand up for men ' s rights and stand against the two sayings: It is harder to build than to demolish. and It is harder to live in peace than to die in violence.
